He explained not only teachers must be awarded but the non teaching staffs too.

In a special address by the brain behind the celebration, Hon Martin Agyei-Mensah Korsah, cautioned the people of Techiman not to attribute the awards to NPP teachers benefiting.

He stated that the awards were fairly selected based on hard work and had nothing to do with their political party affiliation.

He further stated that, the win for the teachers/non-teachers is a win for every other individual present here or at home and so parents and the community must come together with a common interest of training kids the right way for the development of the nation.
